Generic Areas

All <characteristics> that start with <area***> but not <areaSia***> are listed here to clarify what areas can be specified outside of the SIA standard. These areas are of a more novice nature and are designed to give meaning to areas for end-customers. These are not necessarily objective and can be subjective in nature. They are more informative than fact, so that future buyers and renters can more easily visualize what areas are involved within the offer.

We will try to collect any references to these areas when possible, to make things a bit more clear. But because of the subjective nature for some of these area-definitions we advice you to not interpret this as the ultimate resource for defining them as such.
